Exile the War God, Watch the Court Fall

The Story

Kane, the undefeated Blood War God, exits the Crimson Court without a single strike after five centuries of service. He raised Elizabeth from a teenage refugee to the queen of the Thirteen Clans, only to be betrayed by her and the scheming Royal Secretary, Adrian. Manipulated into viewing Kane as a political threat following a ceasefire with the Wolf Tribes, Elizabeth orders his exile. Kane complies instantly, withdrawing his protection and taking the Witch Clan, the Dark Commerce Guild, and the Twelve Clans with him. The court’s security collapses immediately. Wolf invasions sweep through the lands, a Church crusade begins, and a Hunter purge ensues. The leaders of the Crimson Court finally understand that their survival depended entirely on Kane’s presence. His departure seals their doom, leaving them vulnerable to every external force they previously contained.
